Yes, it is in eprom, but I think I have tools disk for another version 
of the drive. Any disktool isn't working.

The tool "FORMAT" includes code JSR $89DB, but it jams the program. I 
read and check out the EPROM several times. Correct jump to ROM for 
function "FORMAT" is JSR $89D9.

I have to check and fix the tool "FILECOPY", then I hope I can reveal 
the secret of SAVE...
